In large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whip in vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and juice. Scrape sides and mix again. Excluding the powdered sugar, stir in all other dry ingredients slowly until just combined. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Pour powdered sugar onto large plate. Roll a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 9–11 minutes* or until bottoms begin to barely brown and cookies look matte (not melty or shiny). Remove from oven and cool cookies about 3 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

*If using non-stick, darker baking tray, reduce baking time by about 2 minutes.
